The only error not picked up (I think) is the force produced by a 6 inch ram - 40 tons. Correct me if I"m wrong but that figure should be closer to 30 tons, unless you are working with short tons and have an over-size ram! So steelwork ratings may not be appropriate. Of course that also reduces the force from a 4 inch cylinder, at that pressure, to a bit under 15 tons (Pi*diameter*diameter)/4 = cross sectional area
At 2500 psi, force is 2500/2240 tons per square inch that only works out to 31 1/2 tons force.
I only point this out "cos someone designing a unit, without checking their own sums, may be misled. I always do it "belt and braces" fashion, working on the assumption that if it can be overloaded, it will. I do note that your over-estimation will lead to 33% over-design in the steelwork, so perhaps that is not a bad thing. Regards, RAB
